Types of Files

File Scavenger®:

• Can recover all file types even though large and fragmented files such as databases and email folders are less likely to be recovered.
• Is especially effective in recovering digital images in JPEG, TIFF and BMP format.
• Can detect certain file types based on their data patterns, thus allowing recovery even when the file system structure is totally lost.
